The defect is in the lack of androgen receptors (either testosterone or DHT). External female, with breasts and a lower two thirds of vagina, but no Mullerian structures (uterus, ovaries, tubes, cervix). Undescended testicles are found, and should be removed.
Hormone levels are normal. Estrogen is unopposed though, because there are no testosterone/DHT reeptors. Hence the female external genitalia.
